This property needs some renovation and is very simple. That being said, the staff is very nice, the pool is clean, and they offer on-site departures for snorkeling, diving, and PADI certification. They have several expert divers on staff and we felt very safe out on the reef. It is right on Highway 1 and a straight shot into Key West. There are variety of restaurants in the area, from Waffle House all the way up to restaurants that serve lobster and have live bands. . I highly recommend the place if you are traveling in the Miami area and have 24 hours to spare. (It is about 80 minutes south.) We decided to take a little road trip and arrived around 2 PM, sat by the pool for a little while and then hopped in the car and dropped down into Key West, had dinner at the Banana Cafe (French), and drove back for the night. The next day we went out in the afternoon for a four hour snorkeling excursion, and then drove back to Miami .
